Lavelle Manufacturing started as a concept to bring small manufacturing back to an area which once thrived on handmade goods, made locally and in the USA. The conception of Lavelle started in 2013 as I prepared to move to the blue ridge mountains in Southwest Virginia. I wanted to bring something to the public that was made locally, to last and for every body shape and size. Before moving the SWVA, I worked on a brand called Garic Stephens (my higher end custom tailored clothing company) which I started in 2008. Garic Stephens focuses on bespoke clothing that is made to measure and is of the highest quality fabrics and sewing techniques to bring each client something special and one of a kind. In 2017 Lavelle Manufacturing opened its doors to the public offering services in custom jeans and jackets (Lavelle), custom bridal and suiting (Garic Stephens), Handmade leather goods and one of a kind Jewelry (GS Accessories). Under the Lavelle Manufacuring Umbrella, we can offer services to the public that are both affordable and made with quality. Our plan is to grow our business to be able to offer jobs in the area at a fair wage thus starting the resurgence of small manufacturing back in the South and in the USA.
